SAS NAGAR:A five-member committee has been constituted in the district by Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan to redress the grievances against promoters/builders for non-provision of basic amenities.
He informed that with the rapid urbanization, various real estate projects of residential and commercial nature have come up over the last few years in the district. “While they have enabled planned development and enhancement of housing capacity in the district, a lot of grievances have also been received against the promoters/builders regarding non-provision of basic amenities such as power, water supply, etc., ’’ said Dayalan. In some cases, demonstrations pertaining to these grievances could have potentially turned into law and order situations which have been averted with the effective intervention of the district administration, said he.
“Timely and effective redressal of these grievances requires higher-level inter-departmental coordination including that from Departments of Power, Water Supply, Urban Development and Police in some cases. So it was deemed essential that a Special Committee be constituted to look into these cases, ’’ said Dayalan.
Divulging details he informed that the Committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), SAS Nagar (Mohali) with Superintendent of Police (to be designated by the SSP), Additional Chief Administrator, GMADA , Municipal Commissioner/E.Os of the Municipal Committee (as the case may be) as members while Assistant Commissioner (Grievances) is the Member Secretary . The Committee shall meet on every Wednesday at 3:30 PM for resolution of pending grievances and, thereafter, as and when deemed fit by the Chairperson.
